Update on my car issues!

Ok, past week I have read everyones advice from v6 board, and gen tech board, along with emails to some individuals, heres what I got done.

Code 22..
Installed TRUE acdelco tps, $$$$, fixed that. WTF, why not one from orileys, zone, napa, etc. But whatever, thats fixed.

Cold Start.
Installed new Oil Pressure Sending Unit/Switch. Think that fixed it.

Stumble/die while driving.
Tach started fluttering, bouning around, car stumbled, died, etc. This showed me it was part that controled spark/tach. Installed the coil off my old s10 engine (almost brand new) and put the stock delco ICM in the distributor. Car drove great around town.

On way home, spitted out code 43 ARGH

When I swapped starters, I had broke plug on knock sensor, replace it but "buttspliced" it together because I didn't have solder gun at that time. So this time soldered it, and while doing that, one of the power wires to starter came out. Fixed that wire AGAIN.

Keep fingers crossed that its fixed!!!

LOl, with all that going on you've had little time to work on the 3.4 in the S10. I'm glad my weekend project was a simple exhaust leak to fix.
